Default Straight Fletch Clamp

Ok I have RW clamp and Bitz-berger for 7 years now. Since going to Blazers I am going to buy a straight clamp. Can I just buy the clamp? Or do I need to buy a whole new Bitz-Berger?

All you need is the clamp.

I would still do a right offset just so that the spin would "tighten" the tips. It doesn't really matter with either of the rests you will be using though.

Not to talk you out of it or anything, but there's no reason not to continue w/ the helical w/ blazers. It works perfectly fine. I mean, go offset if you want, sure won't hurt anything but you don't NEED to.

Mobo with the zapper and nap 360 rest would it not be easier to "fit" the fletching through with a staight off-set fletch? That is my thinking, I think

Be sure to check e-bay too Germ... I bought a helical clamp off there last year for something like $12, and it looked brand new.

I don't think it would matter with blazers/2" fletchingbut if you were going to use 4" fletching then I would think the helical, especially an offset helical, would have unwanted contact.
